Brake pads are crucial components in the driving process of a car, and their quality directly affects the safety performance of the car. In order to ensure the normal operation of brake pads and extend their service life, correct running in is required after the installation or replacement of brake pads. The brake pad manufacturer will now introduce how to correctly run in brake pads.
Firstly, before running in, it is necessary to confirm whether other components of the brake system are functioning properly, such as brake discs, brake fluid, and brakes. Ensure that all other components of the brake system are in normal working condition before the brake pads can be worn in.
Secondly, before running in, it is necessary to avoid sudden and high-speed braking as much as possible to avoid overheating and damage to the brake pads. In the early stages of running in, the brake pads have not yet fully adapted to the surface of the brake discs, so it is necessary to drive carefully and avoid making overly aggressive braking movements.
In the first few hundred kilometers after starting the running in process, it is advisable to avoid high-speed driving and sudden braking as much as possible to avoid excessive friction causing high saturation temperature, resulting in poor running in effect or brake pad deformation. In the early stage of running in, it is necessary to maintain a moderate speed and apply moderate braking in a timely manner to promote better contact between the brake pads and brake disc surfaces, and improve the quality of running in.
When running in, try to choose roads with less traffic flow to maintain sufficient contact time between brake pads and brake discs. Avoid frequent driving and parking to allow sufficient time for the brake pads to come into contact with the surface of the brake disc and improve the quality of running in.
